Your daddy, he's an outlaw
He oversees his kingdom
Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee before I go
But to the stars above
Your heart is like the ocean
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
To the valley below
No gratitude, no love
And how to throw the blade
There's no books upon your shelf
But your pleasure knows no limits
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
His voice it trembles as he calls out
You've don't know how to read or write
To the valley below
On the pillow where you lie
For another plate of food
Your sister sees the future
Your loyalty is not to me
Like your Mama and yourself
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee before I go
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
And a wanderer by trade
One more cup of coffee for the road
So no stranger does intrude
And your voice is like a meadowlark
But I don't sense affection
